Valor Athletics Hits New High in Participation Data, Increases Multi-Sport Participation

The Valor Christian Athletic department continues to see a rise in overall sport participation and the number of athletes participating in multiple sports. Since tracking the data starting in the fall of 2022, overall sport participation at the school has risen from 821 athletes to 850 athletes. As multi-sport participation has also been on the rise, total athletic participation has risen from 1044 in the 2022-23 school year to 1122 in the 2025-26 school year.

The total number of multi-sport athletes has increased from 245 in the 2022-23 school year to 295 in the current year. That rise now means that 34.7% of the athletes participating in Valor Christian Athletics participates in multiple sports, an increase of 5% over the past four years.

The reasons for the increase are multi-faceted and are rooted in the program's commitment to the school's mission, vision and purpose. The school is nationally recognized for its academic program and support of those desiring to continue their education and athletic pursuits at the collegiate level. The dynamic coaching staff for each program has the opportunity to integrate faith into athletics using the school's "Sport as Worship" concepts designed to draw young people into a deeper relationship with the Lord through their sport. The department's Sports Science program has recently seen a 25% decrease in injuries thanks to their implementation of VALD technology and adapting programming based on individual data for each athlete.

Valor Christian offers 25 athletic programs, most recently adding Girls Flag Football and Gymnastics to programs offered by the school. With 11 male sport programs, 12 female programs, and two coed programs in Cross Country and Track & Field, the school offers a full slate of opportunities for student-athletes to explore their unique gifts and abilities.
